  3. Disconnect left and right side brake pad wear sensors. Use DVOM and measure resistance between ground and Gray/Red wire between left and right side brake pad wear sensors. If any resistance is indicated, go to step 5). If no resistance is indicated, go to next step.
  4. Disconnect connector C200A. C200A is located in wiring harness in driver's side kick panel. Use DVOM and measure resistance between ground and connector C200A terminal No. 31 (Yellow/Red wire). If any resistance is indicated, go to step 7). If no resistance is indicated, go to step 6).
